sladevalen2120: As someone who played a ton of Destiny before Ffxiv, be happy BiS is not required. Back when Destiny dropped your level and gear were linked so the only way you could be max level is by grinding the one raid for gear drops in every slot. It was so rough that being level 29 instead of 30 was a meme for years
PapiKamikaze: Reason why I don’t do savage. This game is literally my safe place, I don’t want it to become a burden. I’ve been playing for 4 years.
AlexSchmalex55: I dislike the raid armor not being dyeable cause I'm bad. I will never get the armor dyeable. I don't have the social capacity to find a group and learn a raid just to use color.
h4rdtr: I like BiS 'cuz I like BEEG NUMBER
idno4856: Another based Aitherea vid.
You kinda touched on something I like about 14. You mentioned other games where they base their gearing system around real world transactions. You can't really do that in 14 (maybe some people will make the argument about gear from level skipping or bonus editions of the expansions)
Also Aitherea mentioned "rich people" buying upgrades in other games. Often there are poor people that buy these also cause they don't want to appear poor. There are companies now that'll offer financing plans for these. I like that 14 doesn't have that pressure. Even the stuff you can buy, it's a fixed price. You're not buying upgrade chances.
bluezhift: I guess my warm take is that I love the nightclub scene in FFXIV and how the housing system supports all of the creativity you see in the venues! I know people hate the plaza shouters, but clubbing in this game is just so much fun! It literally motivated me to keep playing the game and do other things besides the MSQ! And yes, Miqo's Rule!!!
ClairvoyantLastrus: Love that gil is optional. As for BiS, I just go for the substats I want. I don't care if it's BiS. Having 3k crit on my MCH is so much fun, I see funny crit number a lot and that makes my brain happy
BillionsWilliams: The best daily is cactpot tickets :D
ephraimjohn: I'm not convinced that "casuals" are raiding savage at all. I'm a casual and we faceroll normal each week, but nothing more right now. We'll jump into variant and criterions once they arrive, probably... but the effort to get 8 people together and prog each week is more than we want/are able to do. Gil and BiS are irrelevant. But what do I know, cos I play Dancer and the point is fun with friends not numbers.
TheeChaste: The only job that isn't balanced is WAR in Dungeons, especially contrasted with DRK, I just want to be able to play DRK in DT Dungeons without healers leaving right off the rip
zaphyy: One thing on bis: I really liked grinding bis for Eureka because it will never become unrelevant (in the context of Eureka). It’s definitely not needed but if you are someone like me who basically lives in Eureka and loves the content, it’s a good investment. It’s still useful unlike other savage bis which becomes irrelevant later on unless you do ultimates with them.
